The device was originally on loan to the Time Institute on Talus for their studies of time and interdimensional space. The prototype was then stolen. The version Neutron News owns was replicated from the prototype instead of the original (most likely reverse-engineered).

They're claiming that because it's not the original stolen machine that they're legally allowed to own the device, and have fabricated proof that it was invented by someone else besides myself.

I've filed a lawsuit to prohibit further use of my intellectual property without my express permission but these things take time. I have to prove in court that I was the original inventor, and that the designs are too similar for the version Neutrino News has in their possession to have been invented by someone else.
